This cake is a wee bit different to the cakes I normally make. It was requested for the birthday of a wine and chocolate conisseur who is not so fond of fondanty delights.
The cake is a Merlot and dark chocolate cake (using of course New Zealand wine and Valrhona 72% Araguani chocolate as a complement). It is glazed in a red wine syrup and covered in delicious slabs of dark chocolate!
